Young men in the ministry are often challenged by ambition. Contentment is the antidote to ambition, 1 Tim 6:6. A young pastor should be:
Content with his calling, 1 Tim 1:12-15.
Timothy’s calling was very different than Paul’s.
Content with his capabilities, 1 Tim 4:12-16.
Timothy was following in Apollos and Paul’s shadows.
Content with his congregation, 1 Tim 5:1-3.
Timothy could have been very discontent with those he dealt with.
Content with his charge, 1 Tim 1:18, 6:20.
God committed some things in trust to Timothy.
